Beginners often find themselves losing their first few games by not being able to identify which cards offer the best opportunities to build a really strong hand. It's fairly simple to understand the poker hand rankings if you just take a little time to study them.
Remember that when you're playing Texas Hold'em poker you are trying to create the best 5-card poker hand from a total of 7 cards. There are 2 hole or pocket cards and 5 communal cards. You may use any combination to create your best hand. You may even use all five communal cards.

Royal Flush : This hand is unbeatable, the highest ranking hand possible. A Royal Flush is made of 5 cards of the same suit, Ten through to Ace. Ten; Jack; Queen; King; Ace - must be the same suit.
Straight Flush : This hand is not as strong as the royal flush but just as rare. A straight flush made up of 5 consecutive cards of the same suit. For example 6-10, 3-7 or Ace-5 (an ace can play both high and low in straights)
Four-of-a-kind : This refers to any hand containing four similar cards,

such as 4 Kings, 4 Tens, or 4 threes.

Flush : A flush is any five cards of the same suit. The cards may be in any order, if they were in succession it would be a straight flush.
Straight : A Straight is five cards of any suit in succession. Straights are very common in Holdem Poker.
